Once again, NATIVE INSTRUMENTS raises the bar with KONTAKT 5 — the latest version of the industry-leading sampler. KONTAKT 5 takes a bold leap forward with 37 new filters, four new on-board studio effects, updated time-stretching, a new instrument bus system and more. As you will see from the new STUDIO DRUMMER, for example, it's a deep-rooted update to the KONTAKT platform, allowing us — and you — to create even better instruments and more powerful, expressive sounds.What's New in 5.5.2:Fixed a KSP issue causing Kontakt to crash when using set_key_name() under certain circumstancesGroup effects can now be changed via KSP without the associated group being selected for editingThe KSP command mf_remove_event() now correctly clears all dataFixed a KSP issue when using the load_array() command with string arrays, now allowing loading directly from NKRs (mode 2)Fixed a KSP issue in which the on persistence_changed callback did not complete after loading an instrument via the instrument headerAbleton Live no longer freezes when a track containing Kontakt is automated and frozenFixed an issue in Fruity Loops where multiple instances of KONTAKT would cause a crash upon the loading of a projectMIDI CC modulators now work correctly for slots 2-128 of instrument banksFixed an issue introduced with 5.5.1 that caused Kontakt to crash when loading bank filesThe import version is now present in the About Dialog on all Mac OS versionsFixed an issue with 5.5.1 that caused Factory Presets to be scanned on each launch
